Human plans
October 14, 2021
Our culture stresses that we are the master of ourselves and all power comes from within. Life happens, and proves this is not true. Scripture gives us truth for the realities of life.
Proverbs 16:9 “The human mind plans the way, but the Lord directs the steps.”
Proverbs 19:21 “The human mind may devise many plans, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will be established.”
Proverbs 27:1 “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.”
We are advised to plan with wisdom, wise council from others. And then hold the outcome in open hands. God dependence is sure. Self dependence is not.
His purpose will have a great goodness on His timetable. One good outcome is growing our faith.
